In the field of conveyor belting used in food processing, known flat topped, plastics conveyor belting having transverse sections pivotally connected using plastics hinge pins has been found to be structurally weak. Stronger, steel hinge pins are difficult to locate and retain in the belting. The disclosure relates to a conveyor belting (1) having hinged transverse sections (2, 3) connected by high load transmitting hinge pins (11). The end (12) of each transverse section (2, 3) is formed as a keeper to retain the hinge pin (11) and the end (12) of each transverse section (2, 3) is resiliently deformable to permit access to the hinge pin (11). With this arrangement, the problems of locating and retaining high load transmitting hinge pins are eliminated. <IMAGE> |
